cfarm, as the article says, theAddModule line is only needed on 10.4 and earlier
http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment13 http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment13 Hi, great read and very helpful. I was wondering, my apache config file didn't have the #AddModule mod_php4.c library. I skipped over the line and it seems to compile php just fine but am wondering how important that is.

Thanks
http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment12 http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment12 sudo pico /etc/httpd/mime.types
After I entered that, there was no MIME type lists showing up, it was just blank..
http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment11 http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment11 i followed the instructions, but it won't let me re-enable personal web sharing. i let it sit for over an hour, and nothing. i've gone through the instructions again, and everything that was supposed to be changed was changed. do you have any suggestions? is there a way i can reset the file and repeat the process in case i altered something else by mistake?

Peter,

no, it's on every Mac. Did you get no "php" found in both files? I'd have to look again, but it might be unnecessary to do some of these steps on newer Mac OS X versions.

Hi Uli,

It was all going very well until the search command could not find any instance of PHP.

Do I need to go and find and install it first? Is my Mac the only one that came without it?

Is there any chance you can help me with this please?

Best, Peter...

I can't tell. Every installer is different. But if you have an installer that was built using PackageMaker (standard Mac installer), you can get it to display its file list. There's a menu item when you open the installer, that lists all the paths.
http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment7 http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment7 ... in other words, is there anything that needs to be cleared out besides the contents of the /usr/local/php5 directory?

I figured I should have clarified.

Thanks!
http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment6 http://zathras.de/angelweb/activatingphponosx.htm#comment6 Thanks for the instructions!

Where do I go to clean out the failed installations of PHP? Unfortunately the installer does not reveal the installation location.

Thanks,

Steve

@Neil: /etc/apache2 is a symlink to /private/etc/apache2, so editing both should work just fine.

Note that for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), the httpd.conf file used by Apache is in a different location: /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.
There still exists a /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file, but editing that file will have no effect whatsoever. You must edit the one in the /private/etc/apache2 folder.
